So I thought it time that I write a review about Tom TC Massage. I mean it’s been close to 20 months and he remains on tender hooks as to what Ole Uncle Autism is going to write about him so here goes. Let’s start with amazing transformative non-judgemental personal trainer. Twenty months ago, I arrived with the physical enthusiasm of a man whose muscles had apparently entered hibernation. What followed has been considerably more than a succession of workouts, protein-related conversations and Tom patiently explaining things that I was absolutely convinced I already understood. Tom has somehow managed to become my personal trainer, nutritional sounding board, occasional therapist-by-proxy, and — most importantly — the person who provides the accountability that I genuinely needed. And accountability is a particularly interesting concept when your brain occasionally resembles a committee meeting in which nobody has read the agenda. Being a little autistic, I’ve always found consistency, routine and having someone who actually understands how I operate enormously valuable. Tom has never treated that as an inconvenience, an eccentricity or something that needed to be “fixed”. Instead, he has adapted his approach, listened, explained things properly and, when necessary, gently reminded me that negotiating with myself is not technically a recognised fitness methodology. The physical transformation has been considerable. I’ve lost weight, rebuilt muscle and developed a much healthier relationship with food and exercise. But the more significant transformation has been learning that getting healthier doesn’t require some miserable pilgrimage through starvation, punishment and the consumption of enormous quantities of chicken There has also been the small matter of IBS. Anyone who has experienced IBS will appreciate that attempting to establish a harmonious relationship between food and your digestive system can occasionally feel like negotiating a peace treaty between countries that fundamentally dislike each other. Through experimenting with what works for me, improving my eating habits and having someone keeping me accountable, I’ve managed to get to a point where my gut is considerably less theatrical. That alone deserves a small ceremonial parade. And then there’s the muscle. I genuinely didn’t expect to become someone who talks about muscle development with anything approaching enthusiasm, yet here we are. Somewhere along the way, my body stopped being merely a biological apparatus for transporting my brain from one appointment to another and started looking like I actually use it. Tom’s approach is refreshingly non-judgemental. There is encouragement without the motivational-speaker theatrics, discipline without humiliation, and humour without ever making you feel like the butt of the joke. He pushes when I need pushing, listens when I need listening, and somehow manages to maintain the delicate equilibrium between “you can absolutely do this” and “for the love of God, please stop negotiating and pick up the weights.” The biggest compliment I can give Tom is that I’ve stuck with it for nearly 20 months. That may not sound extraordinary to everyone, but for me it is monumental. The consistency, the accountability and the fact that I actually look forward to training have made an enormous difference. So, Tom, you can finally come down from those tender hooks. Ole Uncle Autism has submitted his review. Five stars. Not merely because I’ve lost weight or gained muscle, but because I’ve gained something considerably more useful: a sustainable understanding of how to look after myself without turning the entire enterprise into an elaborate exercise in self-punishment. Would recommend Tom without hesitation. Although I reserve the right to write another review in 20 months, entirely depending on how much he annoys me between now and then.
Tom was great at focusing on my back pain . I have tight back and lower back pains , Tom explained what he was doing and what he did after to release the tight back. Would 100% go back
I’ve been to quite a few places for my back issues over the years, but now I only go to Tom! He is an absolute gem of a find. Strong hands and a witty sense of humour whilst manipulating and relaxing your muscles, what more could you want?
good bloke very efficient and very helpful
Left a rating without review text
Extremely professional, relaxing, and comfortable from start to finish. Tom really listened to my needs, focused on the leg and hip area I needed working on! Gave great advice, said the area would be sore the next day and yep it is but feels so much better. Highly recommend.
thank you so much for sorting my husbands shoulder and neck. it was interesting to hear everything you were doing and the explanations of everything. highly recommended
Took Mum for a 45‑minute sports massage with Thomas at TC SportSG Massage and we were both genuinely so happy with the whole experience. Thomas was professional, knowledgeable, and really attentive to what Mum needed. Her neck was so much freer even today — the difference is amazing. She’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend.
Brilliant service again. Felt amazing after he worked his magic on an old neck/ shoulder injury. Highly recommended
Fantastic sport massage, as always 😉💪
